Join us on Tuesday, February 16, 2021 to learn about various research initiatives taking place across Northern Ontario. Researchers will be breaking down the "why" and "so what" of their projects and how they relate to producers across the north. Research is key to allowing the continued growth and innovation in the agricultural industry across the north.
